The sound of Perseverance Jazz Band brings back the dimly lit speakeasies of the roaring 1920s and crackling gramophones playing long-forgotten 78's. In their hot rhythms and sweet melodies, you'll find the glamor, mystery, and excitement of the Jazz Age, the era of Prohibition and the setting of The Great Gatsby.

Known to grip their audience from beginning to end, Perseverance Jazz Band gives a memorable performance every time. When not touring, they play swing dances, clubs, and private events in and near Philadelphia.

Perseverance brings the sound of New Orleans everywhere they go, by way of 1920's and 30's Hot Jazz, Ragtime, Dixieland, and Second Line tunes. The band ranges in size from three to ten musicians and plays weddings, proposals, New Orleans-style funerals, and everything between. They specialize in leading New Orleans Second Line processions.

The band was great, everyone loved them! I pretty much told them to play whatever they wanted instead of having special request and I am glad I did, they did an amazing job. They really made our 1920's wedding great!

PJB was phenomenal. From the communication with Cecilia (booking manager) to the day of! They played our songs as requested and everyone at the wedding reception loved them! I really wanted the 4 person band, but was overly happy about how the trio turned out. Thank you for making our 1920s gatsby theme wedding perfect!

This band was AMAZING! They were very receptive to requests and all of my guests raved about them. I would wholeheartedly hire them again for a future event in a heartbeat!
